Chapter 90
Fu Mingjue was hit with a full thirty sticks, and his snow-white back was covered with bruises and bruises, with traces of blood spilling out, which was shocking to see.

The light in the hall was dim, and only Sun Yuanshi was there to treat Fu Mingjue's wound.

Fu Yunchuo looked angrily at Fu Xiuyun who was sitting on the dragon chair, and said: "Xiao Qi has suffered so much at the hands of Fahrenheit, it is kindness to keep her so far, why does Your Majesty punish Xiao Qi for this?"

"In these years, Xiao Qi has done his best for His Majesty, regaining southern borders and Beiping Tatars. Outsiders all say that he is ruthless and ruthless. Doesn't Your Majesty know whether Xiao Qi has affection?"

Facing the eldest princess' questioning, Fu Xiuyun only held his forehead in silence, his expression was gloomy.

It's not that I don't know, I just want more.

Fu Xiuyun wanted Fu Mingjue to be loyal to him all the time, and wanted Zilin to always be the one who would follow his will.

Fu Yunchuo's eyes fell on the figure behind the curtain, and his voice was sour: "Your Majesty, although Xiao Qi was not born to the empress mother, I have already regarded him as my younger brother these years."

"In my heart, you are the same as Xiao Qi, and I don't want to see any rift between you two."

Fu Xiuyun bowed his head in silence, not knowing what he was thinking.

After a long while, I heard him say: "Sister, in fact, I have always had a question in my heart. Why are you treating him so well even though I am your real brother?"

When he asked this question, it was like a child who was jealous because of the preference among the elders.

A generation of emperors seemed to be aloof and have boundless power, but in fact they were extremely cold and longed for someone to care about and protect them.

Fu Yunchuo's eyes gradually became gloomy, the distance between the two was only a few steps away, but when Fu Xiuyun asked this sentence, they seemed to be thousands of miles apart.

She opened her lips and looked at Fu Xiuyun, who looked slightly decadent, but couldn't say a word.

At this moment, the eunuch's sharp communication voice suddenly came from outside the hall:
"The Empress Dowager has arrived—"

The two collected their thoughts and got up to meet them.

Fu Xiuyun said: "Mother, why are you here?"

The Empress Dowager looked solemn, and looked at him with a bit of reproach: "If Ai's family doesn't come, Your Majesty is going to keep it a secret?"

"Mother, you misunderstood, my son didn't mean that."

This explanation is a little pale. He originally planned to wait until he found Huashi before reporting to the Queen Mother. Who would have thought that a long princess would be killed halfway through and Huashi would be executed.

The Empress Dowager snorted softly, then turned to look at Fu Yunchuo, she didn't question Fu Yunchuo, she just asked: "Fahrenheit is really still alive?"

"Yes," Fu Yunchuo said, "but he is dead now, and he was killed by my son himself."

The Queen Mother took a deep look at her, and asked with a calm face, "What about him?"

This is asking Fu Mingjue.

Fu Yunchuo's heart froze, he stepped forward to support the Empress Dowager's arm, and said: "Mother, Xiao Qi has already been punished, so don't embarrass him anymore."

The queen mother said displeased: "When did the Ai family say that he would be punished?"

When she heard the news that Fahrenheit was still alive, she was really shocked. She was angry that Fu Mingjue imprisoned Fahrenheit for many years against the will of the late emperor, and she was also angry that Fu Xiuyun used the courtiers to design Fu Mingjue for a moment, thus doing things that would damage the royal family's face.

Fu Xiuyun answered, "Zi Lin is inside, and the envoy Sun Yuan is administering medicine to him."

If it wasn't for the timely arrival of the eldest princess, Fu Mingjue would have to lie down for three or two months this time.

After hearing the words, the queen mother raised her feet and walked inside. When she saw Fu Mingjue, who was pale, her eyes were complicated, and a hundred emotions were intertwined, but she was not angry.

Fu Mingjue changed into a brand new black robe, the thick black color made his already pale skin even whiter.

"My son sees my mother."

The Empress Dowager's eyes flickered when she heard him say "mother queen", she didn't know what to think, and said: "For so many years, you have kept your mother and concubine in the palace, right?"

"Yes." Fu Mingjue lowered his eyes and spoke indifferently.

After receiving his affirmative answer, the Queen Mother's tense body suddenly relaxed, she turned her back to him, and changed into an angry expression: "Fu Zilin, you are confused!"

"I know I'm wrong, please calm down my mother." He knelt up straight, his face was as indifferent as ever, and there was no sign of knowing his mistake.

The queen mother was angry and annoyed, pointing at him and said angrily: "The Ai family really underestimated you, actually locked up your mother and concubine for so many years under the eyes of the Ai family! Should the Ai family praise you for your good skills?"

Fu Mingjue pursed his lips and remained silent, as if resigned.

Fu Yunchuo outside saw that the situation was not good, so he walked in quickly to persuade him: "Mother, please calm down, Xiao Qi already knows that he is wrong, so just scold me a few words and forget it."

The queen mother glared at her: "You used to protect him!"

Fu Yunchuo said: "Fahrenheit deserves to die. Xiaoqi misses her birth so that she can live to this day, but she doesn't want to be said to be the evil deed of imprisoning her biological mother. Yi Erchen thinks that those who talk nonsense should be arrested. Get up and punish."

Embarrassment flashed across Fu Xiuyun's face who was hit by these words.

It was clear that Fu Mingjue imprisoned Fahrenheit first, but in the mouth of the eldest princess, it turned out that Fu Mingjue was grateful and couldn't bear to see Fahrenheit executed, so he hid him secretly in the palace.

The Empress Dowager said relentlessly: "Even though Hua deserves to die, but the late emperor ordered her to be killed with a stick, but she has lived to this day. Doesn't this cause the late emperor to be criticized by the world?"

Regarding this point, Fu Yunchuo was also puzzled, she had seen Fahrenheit's tragic situation with her own eyes, locked in a cage like an animal, although she was shocked, she did not sympathize.

Fu Mingjue was young at the time, if not for the help of the late emperor, how could he have concealed it for so many years?

The answer can be imagined.

The Empress Dowager looked at Fu Mingjue, and said sternly: "The Ai family asks you, did the Emperor know about this before?"

Fu Mingjue's face was calm, his dark eyes were like ancient pools without waves, he suddenly bent his lips, and said softly: "I know, I begged my father to do this."

"You..." the queen mother was stunned, looking at Fu Mingjue as if she was looking at a monster.

How could an eight-year-old child have such evil thoughts? !

What's even more ridiculous is that the late emperor, who has always been kind and generous, would actually agree to such a terrifying and unreasonable request.

In all this, who is the evil cause and who is the evil effect?

The twilight sky slowly descended, enveloping the resplendent and resplendent palace, dyeing it a layer of night.

The Queen Mother dragged her heavy body out of the Chengming Hall, and when she saw Ling Youyao who had been waiting outside, she didn't show much, she glanced at her lightly, and left.

Ling Youyao looked at the distant figure of the queen mother, and was puzzled in her heart, the queen mother seems to be a little different today.
"Since you're here, why don't you go in?" Fu Yunchuo came out wearing a red palace attire.

Ling Youyao blessed the body, and said: "Your Highness, the prince. Is he alright?"

In fact, she was there when the queen mother came back, but the atmosphere in the hall was heavy, so it was inconvenient for her to go in, lest Fu Xiuyun would get angry again seeing her.
